RACE 07 announced

James Johnson · Feb 21, 2007

"After the intense action of the WTCC 06 season in RACE – The Official WTCC game it is time for a brand new “single seater” racing experience.
For the first time ever SimBin presents Formula cars, featuring Formula 3000, Formula BMW and in addition also Radical cars with the models SR3 and SR4.
But not only that, as the title RACE 07 signals, the game will ship with the full season of WTCC 2007, all the new cars and tracks are included as well as the 2006 season found in RACE.

RACE 07 comes with a bunch of new tracks and added track variations including new city tracks, alternate track layouts and reversed track option.

Several new community oriented features, game modes and online functionalities will be announced later.

To support these new race classes the player will be offered the choice between one- or two-race-format. Also the highly detailed damage system from RACE is adapted to give the Formula cars the vulnerability they have in real life"

why dont they just make the add on WTCC 2007 season with All the Extra Goodies =P~

Yoeri Gijsen · Feb 21, 2007

I think it are more than just goodies. I didn't immediately recognise all the tracks on the screenshots, meaning there are a few new tracks next to new series as well.

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 21, 2007

i pray this will be a free add on for our current copies.. if not i will feel very sad!

James Johnson · Feb 21, 2007

thank for Title edit O

Yoeri Gijsen · Feb 21, 2007

Well, I do think they pretty much ignored teh fact that WTCC 2006 was released in Q4 of 2006. On the other hand it looks like the 2007 will be an improvement: more series, more tracks, better community tools (finally!). From that point of view the only sad thing is that I've already bought 2006 for the full price.

I just hope they will think of the good old 2006 players when they go for the marketing.

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 21, 2007

So far they have been good to us and we to them, so who knows Scyp! But the improvements as shown look great tho!

Ehm and how do you know all this information Mikkel? Was it displayed on your TomTom in your Chevy?

James Johnson · Feb 21, 2007

Maik Peters · Feb 22, 2007

I need a TomTom like that to!

Mike McMullan · Feb 22, 2007

lol an update that large won't be a free addon for Race-WTCC2006. It'll be a standalone game that we'll have to shell out another £40 for

Tim Hogendoorn · Feb 22, 2007

This looks great!
I think the full game will be available for 49 Euro's, and because of steam I think that it will be possible for people who allready have Race to buy the "addon" for 20 Euro's or something like that.(?)

Pedro van Baelen · Feb 22, 2007

i dont want an update with one seaters because its so boring

the 2007 update of the wtcc i would love to have it

Mikkel · Feb 22, 2007

ALL Chevy's in RACE has this TomTom installed, they only switch on during league races though, so to bad 95% of the rest of you selected other cars mwuahaaahhaa

Btw. I'm really looking forward to the "inside the helmet" driving view that is seen on ne of th screenshots, I think that might just be the perfect place to be when simracing

That sure is a feature that I'm curious about. I wonder what it will be like when you look sidewards and see the view go over the shoulder, lol.

oh, so that is what keeps distracting me from driving a clean line ...

back on topic: I guess with the amount of extra material this is sure going to be a new game for €45 with us 06ers able to download the wtcc 07 tracks and cars and naught more, which I would more than gladly appreciate (don't really care for free-wheelers, too finneckey) !!!
